A handy way of commenting for debugging
First off, this is not rocket science, just something I noticed that I hadn't noticed in the thousands of lines of PHP code I've written. :) Sometimes in my code I like to print() some things just to see what certain variables look like for debugging. Here is an example.
<?php
/*
$vals = array("this","is","an","array");
foreach($vals as $val){
print $val . "\n";
}
*/
?>
/*
$vals = array("this","is","an","array");
foreach($vals as $val){
print $val . "\n";
}
*/
?>
Here is a quick example that uses block commenting (/* and */) to enclose the whole thing.
I used to go and delete or add those, but I thought of a quick way to enable or disable them without erasing them to disable them. Just comment them out as below.
<?php
#/*
$vals = array("this","is","an","array");
foreach($vals as $val){
print $val . "\n";
}
#*/
?>
#/*
$vals = array("this","is","an","array");
foreach($vals as $val){
print $val . "\n";
}
#*/
?>
